New Victorian-Inspired Etsy Graphic Set

So, apparently I'm on a Victorian kick. Maybe its from seeing all of those fabulous "Steampunk" items on etsy. I've made two new Etsy Graphic packages which have sets of graphics for sale items, vacation, etc....

The first one really has that rich chocolate look I just adore:























I really like the way that one turned out. Then I found a fabulous French looking black flower background and that inspired yet another Etsy banner and graphic set. Being from Louisiana
there are fleur-de-lys everywhere and this one just had that feel to it.














































The Shabby Chic font goes just perfectly with the crisp black flowers.

I've got about 40 more patterns that I am really excited about working with but my real life has me at a meeting early in the morning so I'm off to bed for the night!

The giveaway will happen next Sunday and the final design should be finished within one week. :)

Banner Re-design Project

In an effort to give banner design a try, I posted in the etsy forum that I was offering free banner redesigns...

There were a few responses and I just finished my first one. I'm not sure what it is about her shop (her items are beautiful), but it was a difficult task. I guess I really want the banner to capture the feel of her shop and hopefully, I have done just that.

Here is the original design:



and a link to her shop:
Luminous Soul Designs

and here is the re-do:





The next one was fabulous and funky! She requested bright colors and a mod feel.

First the original:




and my re-do:




She has the neatest upcycled items!

Check her out at: Happy Accidents

Once Liz received the image, she had a few changes and here are the results of those:




It does look better now :) It captures the mood of her shop for sure!

The next one I did had a generic sales banner, probably for the holidays...
She makes awesome handbags: AStonesThrow
Here is her new banner... I hope she likes it! I used some images from her shop as the inspiration for the color and design...




It seems like they are all in shades of teal!

More to come shortly - I will try not to use teal this time LOL
